If you went into that attic you had to be careful as it didn't have a floor. One mistep & you could end up falling into the rooms below. <br />Three of my brotherrs died in their 50's - Albert had heart problems, Dick had a couple of debilitating strokes, & chatterbox Ned died of lung cancer.

Or did I dream that? All the other little rooms under the eaves were so cozy and interesting to explore. Watching my own kids go into "explore/creative mode" and knowing the destructive wake it leaves, I often wonder how we so successfully explored all the nooks and crannies in Grandma's house without leaving it a wreck? How did we do that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
